France: educating to noise risks

To protect adolescents from risks related to amplified music, a guide to educate children to this problem is currently tested in 20 primary schools and will be diffused in 2006.

Another guide to educate adolescents will be available in 2007. Moreover, an awareness campaign was launched in 2004 ("AGI-SON", visit the website). And legislation relative to discotheques will be reinforced.
